What is the name of your state? Texas
My brother and I are co-executors of an estate that is going into the initial filing of co-executor phase this coming Friday. I have recently become aware that money he borrowed against the estate, at least 200,000, for a divorce, he has no intention of repaying. This may be the tip of the iceberg as he has had POA for the past several years and the amount in the account is not adding up to what we had estimated had it been handled properly. I have contacted an attorney in the area he lives..a half days drive away. He has told me this initial hearing it will not be necessary for me to attend, that he will make sure my name goes through as co-executor. I have not met with this man face to face, but feel he is credible as having been a city attorney for the past 20 years and had two unrelated references deem him "trustworthy." This being said, I do not want to miss anything that might adversely affect this case. How important is meeting him face to face..and even though this will mean two trips in the same week, the second requiring an overnight stay, how important is my actually being at this establishing of co-executor meeting?
